if this takes off its really gonna help standardise search queries, making it easier to tailor pages around an exact combo of terms in the correct order. wonder if you can track it?

First Microsoft, then Yahoo. Wonder if we’ll see the boffins at Google come up with something similar, or even improve on it? Personally, I’ll stick with Google, since I’m comfortable with the current interface. I believe most “man on the street” users probably will remain similarly unaffected…

Yeah it looks like this is their approach to universal search. Just
redirecting as much of their search queries to other sections of Yahoo.
